How to buy Pepe on a Decentralized Exchange (DEX)

The $Pepe coin, based on the iconic Pepe the Frog meme by Matt Furie, is rapidly gaining popularity among cryptocurrency enthusiasts due to its unique brand identity and potential for growth.

This guide will explain how to purchase Pepe coin.

You can choose between a CEX or DEX to buy Pepe coin in a way that is convenient for you. Although there are many CEXs available, options for DEXs are extremely limited because Pepe coin is only available on a limited number of DEXs.

If you’re trading on a CEX, the easiest place to purchase is CoinEx.

Below, we’ll explain how to buy on the DEX Uniswap.

Steps to Buy Pepe Coin on Uniswap:

1. Create a Wallet

The first thing you’ll need is a cryptocurrency wallet. While there is a cryptocurrency wallet called Metamask, it is recommended to use the recently released Uniswap iOS app. First, download the Uniswap app from the App Store, launch the app, and create a wallet.

2. Acquire ETH

To buy $PEPE, you need to deposit ETH (Ethereum) into your wallet. Either send Ethereum from another wallet, purchase directly on Uniswap, or buy on another exchange like CoinEx and send it to your wallet.

3. Find Pepe in the Uniswap App

Next, you need to find $PEPE within the Uniswap wallet. To do this, tap the link that says ‘Search web3’. Then copy and paste the following token address.

0x6982508145454Ce325dDbE47a25d4ec3d2311933

You could search for Pepe, but there is a chance that a fake Pepe coin might appear, so it is smarter to search using the contract address.

4. Swap ETH for $PEPE

Press the SWAP button, and that’s all you need to do to swap tokens.

When you input the quantity/amount of ETH, the quantity/amount of Pepe will be displayed. When you click ‘Swap’, you will be asked to sign the transaction in your wallet.

5. Approve the Transaction

Finally, approve the transaction and wait a few seconds for it to be approved on the blockchain network. After that, Pepe coin will be displayed in your wallet!

Afterwards, please confirm the details of the transaction. As Pepe coin is an ERC-20 token, you will have to pay a gas fee when you swap.
